What our customer's say!

"A stirring and powerful film ", This is a gripping piece of cinema that it is very involving and very sad. It's hard to watch some scenes and it really is an extremely emotional film, and one that presents a side of the event that is sometimes overlooked - namely the lives of the people involved.

"IRA = FREEDOM FIGHTERS!!!!", This film lets you see just how bad the British really are. Americans, don't forget we fought a similar war to get out from under their thumb. They dubbed us terrorists then just as they dub the IRA terrorists. Forget the Middle East, free Ireland George!

"Sunday, Bloody Sunday", Paul Greengrass, who brought us the powerful and controversial "United 93," made a stunning film about the events that transpired on January 30, 1972 in Londonderry. Greengrass presents the film in a documentary fashion, giving the impression that you are observing the events as they take place. On that day, the Civil Rights Movement, led by MP Ivan Cooper, were determined to march in spite of an official ban on all such gatherings. The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association fought against many abuses of power on the part of the Northern Ireland administration, but the core issue was the abolition of Operation Demetrius, or internment. Basically, British soldiers could arrest and intern those suspected of being paramilitary groups without charge or trial.

Cooper, who came from a rural Protestant background, wanted only a peaceful march. He urged IRA members not to bring weapons to the march, and advised youth who were harassed by soldiers to "just walk away." Unfortunately, due to high-levels of IRA/British soldier clashes, the "Paras" (1st Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment) were out in force. In addition, despite Cooper's pleas to the contrary, armed "Provos" (members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army) were present. It's still not clear how it began, but shots were fired, and the Paras killed 14 unarmed marchers and wounded several others. The film clearly implies that the British shot first, though that's something that may never be determined with certainty.

Shortly after the events of Bloody Sunday, the British government convened an inquiry known as the Widgery Inquiry. It absolved all the British soldiers of responsibility. In response to political pressure, Tony Blair launched the Saville Inquiry, which as of now has yet to release a report.

In the final part of the film, with Ivan Cooper and other Civil Rights leaders speaking at a press conference after the events, Cooper says: "I'd like to say to the British government- you know what you've done, don't you? You've destroyed the Civil Rights Movement. Tonight, young men will be lining up to join the IRA, and you will reap a whirlwind." His words proved to be prophetic. Had Bloody Sunday not happened, it's likely that the Civil Rights Movement could have achieved what the Good Friday and St. Andrews Agreements are now achieving.

The acting and direction in this movie are top-noptch. Even though the viewer knows what's going to happen, one feels a certain amount of suspense. The interment issue has an eerily contemporary ring to it, and this film shows the dangers of a militarized police force. The two featurettes on the DVD are quite informative as well. In sum, this movie is highly recommended, both for history fans and those who want to use the lessons of history to change the future.



"Super", Very dramatic without being a "Hollywood" type of film. Shows how awful the Brits actually were to Catholics in the North. Must see.

"Bloody Sunday", If you grew up with the Irish Civil War a constant part of the evening news, you don't want to miss this movie. James Nesbitt (Jekyll) portrays an Irish member of Parliament who is trying to make peace between the IRA and the British Government. A peaceful rally goes bad, and the horrors of the conflict come to life. The way it was filmed (hand-held cameras) lend an air of reality and the incredible sadness. This movie is based on actual events that took place in Ireland during that time. It held my attention the entire time. Highly recommended.

"Bloody Sunday ", The best movie I have seen in a long time Have watched it a few times and never get tried of it It brought home what the people of Ireland had to go through and the heartache

"More dramatic than it seems", One more film on this Bloody Sunday, will you say. Shot for television in 2001. What can we add to the plain fact of 13 people killed in cold blood by the paratroopers of Her Majesty the Queen of England without any clzear order to do so ? There is no excuse for this event, absolutely no excuse. The march should not have been banned and blocked in the first place. That was a total misunderstanding of the situation. And the English had never had anything to do in Ireland in the first place. The film though is not as effective as it could have been because the editing choice is pretty simple, not to say bizarre. Why try to produce a sloppy, amateurish and old TV documentary when everyone knows it is done on purpose by professionals in 2001 and with only filmed professional actors. It makes the film very chaotic and unsmooth. The only thing that is clear is that the demonstrators were pretty amateurish in their non-violent disorganized organization whereas the paratroopers were pretty good professionals at obeying an order that never existed and the army was very good at covering up the event. And we have to keep in mind it will take more than 25 years to finally start moving towards a political settlement. And it is still fragile and could erupt again any time even if the situation is improving steadily day after day. We are still far from the end. Keep in mind that 13 dead people in Londonderry is probably more than in Tien An Men if we take into account the respective populations of Northern Ireland and China, and even one casualty would have been too many. As far as I know there was no casualty when Martin Luther King marched in Washington DC, and we can be absolutely sure that Martin Luther King's Baptist dream was just as valuable as that of these Northern Irish Catholic citizens, and vice versa of course.

"Trying to understand", Excellent work. We took the family to Ireland and Northern Ireland this year and toured Derry. This movie was such a help for us to understand what happened on Bloody Sunday. We purchased this item because of hearing about the well received 9/11 movie by the same director.

"Gutwrenching; real; expertly made. ", Bloody Sunday is one of the most emotionally powerful movies of the last 20 years. There are a lot of films that touch on some aspect or events of "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland, but Bloody Sunday is, far and away, the best of them all.

The acting is superb. James Nesbitt, as Ivan Cooper, the protestant MP and civil rights activist, gives an Oscar-caliber performance. Regrettably, films like this get almost no attention from The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences or other similar groups. The cast around him all perform impeccably.

Movies of this kind tend to romanticize or glorify the fallen. The writers and producers of this movie honored the dead without making them martyrs or without a sort of too-sweet sentimentality. The suffering of the victims' families is real and raw, their losses very palpable and human.

What makes the emotional impact so tremendous is the realism of the cinemetagrophy and dialog. The attacks by British Paratroopers on the civil rights marchers feel real, terrifying. Many of shots were made with hand-held cameras, so the viewer feels as if he/she is right in the middle of the event. There is not a silly, superfluous, corny or overly-dramatic bit of dialog in the film. The screams, the cries, the conversations, the speeches, etc., all are what you would expect to hear in or around an event like this.

Critics might argue that the film is not balanced, that it portrays the British military in a bad light. It's true that the British Paras are clearly the "bad guys," but over 30 years of information-gathering about this dreadful event has strongly tended to show that the soldiers were primarily to blame for "Bloody Sunday." If you have issues with the objectivity of the film, perhaps those concerns should be addressed to the scores of historical (eyewitness, expert reconstruction) accounts on which the movie is based.

Nothing entertaining or light-hearted or uplifting is to be found in Bloody Sunday. It's dark, sad, even angering. But you'll not find too many other films as gripping and meaningful as this.

"Mind-blowing cinéma vérité", Even if you are not well-versed in the history of the subject matter you will be mesmerized by the technique employed by Paul Greengrass. It is simply astonishing the level of realism acheived within. Several times I got lost in the story, immersed as if I were watching a documentary and not a staged production. Very engrossing and several good supplements including commentary and a visit to the present-day real-life locations depicted in the film.
